Two new scholarships for students seeking degrees in nursing or an allied health field will be offered at Newman University thanks to the generosity of longtime Wichita resident, businesswoman and philanthropist Marjorie Chance.
Gifts from one of the Spring 2011 honorary degree recipients will create new scholarship programs for students seeking a degree in nursing or an allied health field at Newman University. The gift will create one scholarship, called the Marjorie Chance Scholarship in Nursing, that will be awarded to selected students beginning in the fall 2011 semester. Another scholarship, the Marjorie Chance Endowed Nursing and/or Allied Health Scholarship, will begin awarding scholarships as early as the fall 2012 semester.
Newman University students will take to the phones beginning Feb. 7 for the annual Newman Fund Phonathon. Read More…
